The Chicago White Sox placed infielder Lenyn Sosa on the 10-day injured list with a right hip flexor strain.

In a corresponding move on Wednesday, the White Sox recalled infielder Tim Elko from Triple-A Charlotte.

Sosa, 25, went 0-for-4 in Monday's 13-1 loss to Detroit and did not play in Tuesday's game. He's batting .274 on the season with four home runs and 17 RBIs. He's a career .241 hitter in three-plus seasons, all with the White Sox.

Elko, 26, is batting .161 with three homers in 10 games with the White Sox this season. In 39 games at Charlotte, he ranks among International League leaders in slugging (third, .596), OPS (fourth, .984), home runs (fourth, 11) and average (10th, .315), according to the club.

The White Sox on Wednesday also claimed minor league right-hander Ryan Cusick off waivers from the Tigers and optioned him to Charlotte.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the club transferred right-hander Miguel Castro to the 60-day injured list.
